Håkan Grahn is a Professor of Computer Engineering at the Department of Computer Science, School of Computing, Blekinge Institute of Technology (BTH) in Sweden. He has been a faculty member since 1996, becoming a full professor in 2007. His academic leadership includes serving as Head of Department (1999-2002) and Dean of Research (2011-2013) at BTH. He leads multiple significant research projects including GPAI (General Purpose AI Computing) and Green Clouds, with funding from ELLIIT, the Knowledge Foundation, and Vinnova. His educational background includes: M.Sc. in Computer Science and Engineering (1990) from Lund University Ph.D. in Computer Engineering (1995) from Lund University Håkan's research spans several interconnected domains in computer science and engineering, with a strong emphasis on practical applications. His work in computer architecture focuses on optimizing system performance through innovative cache coherence protocols and memory management techniques. In the realm of parallel computing , he investigates multicore systems, GPU computing, and thread-level speculation to enhance computational efficiency. His research in AI and machine learning addresses energy efficiency, data stream mining, and practical applications in areas like district heating systems and airborne networks. The integration of image processing with machine learning forms another significant strand of his work, particularly in historical document analysis and medical imaging applications. These research areas converge in his leadership of major initiatives like BigData@BTH and GPAI, where he bridges theoretical advances with real-world implementation challenges. Analysis of Håkan's recent publications reveals a clear trajectory toward increasingly applied research with strong industry connections. While maintaining foundational work in computer architecture, his output increasingly focuses on practical AI applications, energy efficiency in computing, and domain-specific implementations in sectors like telecommunications, energy systems, and defense. The interdisciplinary nature of his work is evident in collaborations spanning computer science, engineering, and domain-specific applications, with a growing emphasis on sustainability and resource optimization in computing systems. Håkan has successfully supervised numerous doctoral students, with ten graduates and six current Ph.D. candidates. His research has been supported by substantial funding from: The Knowledge Foundation (BigData@BTH, HINTS, Green Clouds) ELLIIT (GPAI project) Vinnova (FANET-MCA, Directed COM & EW) Industry partners including Ericsson, Saab, Telenor, and Fortnox He is actively involved in multiple research groups including DISL (Distributed and Intelligent Systems Lab), CCS-Lab (Communication and Computer Systems Research Lab), and previously PAARTS (Parallel Architectures and Applications for Real-Time Systems). His leadership extends to organizing academic events like the Nordic workshop on Multi-Core Computing and the Swedish Artificial Intelligence Society workshop.
